The Audi Sport TT Cup is the perfect entryway into the motorsports world at the brand with the four rings. Within the framework of the DTM the international young drivers are able to present and recommend themselves for further careers. This year, seven racing weekends are on the calendar.

The junior racing series starts within the framework of the DTM – the most popular motorsports-platform in Germany and one of the most prestigious racing series of the world. The DTM-season kick-off is going to take place on the first weekend of May in Hockenheim. The second racing weekend on the Nürburgring is going to be a special highlight, because it takes places within the framework of the 24h-race. Just like before, two races of 30 minutes each are going to be driven at every event.

The racing version of the Audi TT has an output of 228 kW (310 HP) at a weight of only 1.125kg and profits from the technical innovations of the production model – especially regarding lightweight construction. All 24 race cars are supplied and prepared centrally by the Audi Sport GmbH – this guarantees equal opportunities.
